Étude Pour les Petites Supercordes - Part 1

“Kotomi!” “Hey, Kotomi” Tomoya begins to jog up the hill to try and catch up to Kotomi. “Oh, Hi Tomoya, How are you this morning?”

"I am good thanks. Thought I might come into school on time for a change.” says Tomoya whilst rubbing his eyes.

“That is great. Once you get used to it, It isn’t really that bad” stated Kotomi. “I don’t think I could get used to this.” moaned Tomoya with a slight smile on his face.

“So, What are you doing today?” asks Tomoya. "Oh nothing. I will probably spend some time in the Library."

“Say, Would you like to. uh, Have lunch together today?”

“I would love to Tomoya!” exclaimed Kotomi with a huge smile on her face.

“Great, I can’t wait.”

"Me neither..."

Tomoya slowly strolls through the classroom and collapses into his seat. “Oh hi Tomoya. I didn’t expect to see you this early.” says Ryou from across the room.

“Well uh. I thought it would be nice to be on at least some peoples good side for a change.” “Well I think it’ great Tomoya” replies Ryou as she now stand in front of Tomoya’s desk.

“So how are you Tomoya?” “Tired, But good none the less. How about you?” asks Tomoya. “Fine thank you. Oh here is the teacher. See ya.”

Tomoya grows more bored of his lessons by the second. Looks over to Youhei’s desk to find him sleeping on his desk. Tomoya kicks the back of his chair and with that Youhei jumps out and screams.

“AHHHHHH!” “SUNOHARA! SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP”Screamed the teacher. “Oh, Sorry Sir.” moaned Youhei with an embarrassed look on his face.

“What’s was that for man?” Asks Youhei. “What? I didn’t do anything I swear.” Lies Tomoya. Youhei slams his head back on the desk & goes back to sleep.

Dinner rolls around. Tomoya heads to the cafeteria to grab some sandwiches. Once the sandwiches have been acquired, he makes his way to the library. “Hey, Tomoya!.” He turns around to find out who greeted him. Standing there with a cheesy smile on her face stands Kyou Fujibayashi. “Stop smiling like that You’re making me feel uneasy.”

“Oh shut it you. Say, Where are you going?” asks Ryou. “Just to the library to have lunch with Kotomi.”

“Oh. Well then I’ll let you get along to your little date. Bye!” “It’s not a da-” Kyou has already ran off before he can finish his sentence.

Tomoya slides open the door to the library and walks in.

“Kotomi? You in here?” As Tomoya continues to walk into the Library, He spots Kotomi sitting on the ground bare foot as usual. But this time, Tomoya is dumbfounded. Tomoya just stands a stares.

Looking at the way the light from the window hits Kotomi’s face. “Hi Tomoya!” “Tomoya?” Kotomi gets no reply.

She stands up and walks towards him. Tomoya’s eyes follow her face. Still stuck for words, He stands as Kotomi shakes him. “Hey, Tomoya.” “Oh, What? I’m sorry. I was a little dizzy.” responds Tomoya.

“Hey, I grabbed sandwiches.” Says Tomoya as he pulls out two sandwiches from his bag. “Oh great. I actually can’t find my lunch. But I do have some tea.” replied Kotomi as she pulls out a flask of tea.

They both sit & begin eating. “So how was your classes Tomoya?” asks Kotomi. “Ah, The usual stuff. I don’t want to bore you with it. Tell me, What have you been doing?”

“Ah, I was reading up on ‘Higgs Boson’ Do you know about it?” She asked. “I can’t say that I do Kotomi.” They continue eating until the bell that indicates classes are about to begin sounds. “Oh, I should be going.”

They both reached for the remaining packaging leftover from the sandwiches. Their hands connect. One on top of another. It feels as if time has completely stopped.
